RIO DE JANEIRO, July 14 (IANS/EFE): After winning the World Cup here Sunday, Germany captain Philipp Lahm said that having �the best team� and not �the best players� is what finally counts.
�Whether to have or not to have the best individual players does not matter, what matters is the better team which we've had,� Lahm said, reports EFE.
Lahm�s statements referred to Lionel Messi of Argentina, who lost the final 0-1, while downplaying the difficulties posed by Argentine defence.
"We know that it is not normal in a semi-final or final of a World Cup to be winning 5-0 after 30 minutes,� said the captain, referring to the 7-1 semi-final win over Brazil earlier.
